Resources for CCF Students & Alumnae
Please check this page periodically for updates.
We support students in their pursuit of higher education by providing the following financial support: scholarships, assistance with books, school supplies, and transportation. We also provide emergency funding to students who are experiencing one major barrier to enrolling in school. Financial support is open to CCF Future Fellows and Fellows who are enrolled in school, but interested applicants should check the qualifying criteria for each support offered.

Career Educational Enhancement Program (CEEP) Application
CEEP supports students seeking high-quality career certifications to enhance their degree or as a stepping stone to earning one. CCF contributes to the cost of the certificate program up to $1,500 and provides book assistance, as well as assistance with associated exam and registration fees and required materials. Students can earn certificates while working towards their degrees if their schedules and finances permit.

Onetime assistance to help pay off a debt that is directly related to your ability to enroll or stay in school. Please read the eligibility criteria on the application form.
